Time flies and Christmas is here! Here at La Velocita, we love Christmas and it may sound a little cliché but what better way to celebrate than to get out and ride Christmas Hills just before Christmas.

Drew Ginn - 24 Hour Solo Record Attempt

24 hours. Brunswick Velodrome. One man and his bike. A distance target that most of us would never even contemplate. 900km… almost endless laps through day and night. This is the story of how it unfolded.
